Charleston, September 1G.—Thero was
an earthquake shock yesterday morning
about t o’clock, uiisi vt.in).imird by any
great rumbling or detonation, and was only
noticed by a few persons. Possiblv a light
shock occurred last night, but this is uncer
tain,as any vibration caused by passing vehi
cles or the polling down of walls, is apt to
be regarded as caused by an earthquake.
There has not been a shock in some days
worth reporting.
The relief committee has issued over one
thousand forms of application for assist
ance in rebuilding or repairing houses.
Attention has recently been directed to
the character of mortar used, consisting
largely of yellow sand, and the city council
will probably take action on the subject to
jrevent any Buddensieck disasters in the
lurry of rebuilding.

A Murderer Respited.
irusTA, September 13.—On the 2nd of March
tart. la Haralson county, Henry Norris murdered
Georg* Elliott. The murder was a very brutal one.
Both men were white, and were ditching on a farm
Is that county. After wading through the mass of
tetfimcmy taken at the trial, all that appears In the
uy cf provocation is this: About three yean before,
Eliott asked Norris for a chew of tobacco, Norris
it to him. but the tobaoco was of such poor
guilty that EUlott threw It away, making some
digUlug remark about it. Norris was vary poor,
aod Elliott's action provoked hlm,but ha seemingly
took no offense. At tae time of the killing Norris
*u working for sis dollar* a month. He and Elliott
on tho day previous, were working side by side,
when Elliott again asked for a chew of tobacco.
Norris gave’ It to him, and EUlott again
threw it away, remarking upon Its poor quality, and
aiding some remark about Norris's poverty. From
tho evidence Norris made up his mind to klU him,
bat there was not a favorable opportunity. On
the day following they were working together. El
liott bad a shovel, working In advance of Norris,
and the latter had a hoe. Suddenly Norria hit El
liott a terrible blow on the back of the head with
the hoe, feUlng him to the grdand. He then took
the ihovel of his victim and best him to death with
Karlous Collision Between a Freight and
Passenger Train.
Albany, September 16.—About 2:25 this
morning a very serious collision occurred
hear the depot at this place, between the
south bound “cannon ball," from Montgom
ery to Jacksonville, and a freight train ol
tho Brunswick and Western, in which the
engine of the former and cab, and two box
cars of the latter, were badly wrecked.
From all the information had the “cannon
ball" was a few minutes lato,aad Yardmaster
J. H. Crawlv, of tho Brunswick and Wes
tern, was drilling his freight train, pre
to leave at 3:15,and ventured on tho mi
thinking he could got off in time, but was
overtaken. Engineer Wallace Sooville, of
tho “cannonball" did not see the freight
until too late, as there were no lights on
the cab. He reversed his engine,
applied his brakes and jumped. His left
ankle was very badly crushed. He is under
the care of Dr. P. L. Hilmau, who says it
is a very serious wound, but hopes to save
tho leg. The fireman remained on the en
gine, and escaped with a few slight bruises.
Tho passengers were shaken up some, but
no one was hurt.

Wednesday's Madisonian.
Considerable surpriso as well ns conster
nation was felt in Madison Monday, when
it was ascertained that two of tho most sub
stantial brick buildings in the city had been
damaged to such an extent by tho xocent
earthquake 6hock ns to render them un
safe. Investigation showed that there were
several cracks on one side of tho court
house, one of which being of several
inches width, while the others are
such as to leavo no doubt that
the building is unsafe. It was renovated
only two years ago, and regarded os od* of
the most secure buildings in the city. Tho
cost of the recent repairs has been consid
erable, and it is to be hoped that Hie
dangerous parts may be so remedied as to
permit the continued use of what now is
one of the prettiest court houses in this
part of the State. The most perceptible
damage, howevor, seems to bo that sus
tained by the town hall building, which
is occupied by the hook and ladder
company and W. W. Leake, confection
ery, on the first flo6r, and Mr. E. A. Rice’s
printing establishment on the second. The
walls of this building are said to bulge, and
great cracks in the samo caused tho city
council to formally stato to tho tenants that
the citv would not be held for any damage
done them by falling walls, which may oc
cur at any time. This causod Mr. and Mrs.
Leake to move out yesterday, and wo sup
pose Mr. Rice will also seek other quarters.
It is thought this building will be regularly
condemmed.

The Finding, of the Committee Recom
mending Uta Impeachment.
Philadelphia, September 13.—The apo
dal council committee appointed to inves
tigate tile charges against Mayor William
B. Smith presented their report to a spe
cial meeting of the common council this af
ternoon.
The findings are:
1. That tbo mayor received and retained
license fees which it was notmade his duty
by any law to receive, and which shonld
havo boon turned over to tho city treasury.
2. That he failod to comply with the law
requiring the regnlation of pawnbrokers,
thus enabling them to carry on their busi
ness withont a license.
3. By failing to exeroise proper supervis
ion over the affairs of his oillce, whereby
moneys belonging to the city were collected
during the years 1831 and 1885 and retained
in the alleged poaisgiinn of his chief clerk,
who mndo no return to tho city treasnror or
to tho city controller of moneys ao received
and so retained until forced to do so from
fear of discovery.
4. In that ho was negligent in the dis
charge of his duties os a sworn public officer
whereby it was possible for John L. Linton,
tho mayor's private secretary, to alter checks
drawn to the ordor of thn city treasurer, that
the mayor might deposit them in his private
bank account, and that it was possible for
the said John L. Linton to receive
and retain pnbiio moneys and appropnste
the same to hts own nse, which moneys
should havo been paid into the city treasu
ry, and in that tho said John L. Linton
was not required to keep any books of ac
count, nor to make any returns of those
moneys which he bad been delegated by
the mayor to collect.
5. By reason of bis negligence in the su
pervision of tbo police department special
officers were appointed whose dereliction
of duty bad to be admitted, and whose ser
vices wero so seldom rendered that they
oonld not account before the committee for
tho work for which they bad received pay
from the citv.
Mr. Claridge cf the committee made

jority. The reading of the committee’! re
port waa listened to with intense interest,
and waa followed by considerable excite
ment The council postponed farther con
sideration of the mntter until Thursday, in
order to give the members time to study
